Requesting Accessible Public Washrooms at New SkyTrain Stations

Last year, the Committee passed a motion calling for the consideration of accessible public toilets—a key element of an age-friendly city—in all planning projects. City Council subsequently approved an amended version of this motion.

One important location for accessible public washrooms is transit stations. As TransLink is currently planning the new SkyTrain Broadway extension, we feel it is critical that all new stations include public washrooms. We plan to ask Council to consider this issue, and have written a draft letter which we hope to present in the near future.
